"The Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification from Girls Gone Strong is exactly what the fitness industry needs. Anytime someone asks me about training pregnant or postpartum women, I send them to GGS.

What makes this certification different from every other certification in the industry?
The Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification was created specifically by women for health and fitness professionals who work with pregnant and postpartum women. With it, you'll:
  • Set yourself apart by mastering the psychology of working with pregnant and postpartum women.
  • Dive deep into often-overlooked topics that affect your clients, including pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic floor dysfunction, respiratory and cardiovascular changes, and low back and pelvic girdle pain.
  • Get women-specific coaching strategies, case studies, scripts, and unlimited support not offered anywhere else in the world.
  • ​Learn the art and science of coaching and training women at every stage of pregnancy and after delivery.
  • ​Be prepared to coach any woman — with any challenge — who comes to you for help.
And whereas most other certifications only cover prenatal OR postnatal information — ours covers both.

After you master the topics of pre- and postnatal-specific coaching and psychology, anatomy, physiology, nutrition, exercise, the birth process, postpartum recovery and rehabilitation, and programming, you’ll know exactly how to give your clients the coaching and care they deserve.

This certification is more than another piece of paper and letters after your name.

You’ll learn how to empower women to be their healthiest and strongest selves during one of the most amazing times in their lives.

So whether you’re a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, yoga or Pilates teacher, nutrition coach, strength coach, physio, or even a medical doctor, this certification will take your coaching skills to the next level.
Learn every aspect of successfully training pre- and postnatal women step by step, from start to finish.
With our brand-new, 500-page textbook you’ll find the latest research in pre- and postnatal psychology, coaching, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, exercise, the birth process, postpartum rehab, and programming.

We tie it all together with dozens of case studies, and include time-saving forms, questionnaires, and assessment tools that you can use with your own clients.
Develop the skills to troubleshoot any coaching or training problem.
Our companion workbook will enhance your understanding of the material and help you put your new knowledge into practice with clients.

Working through real-life scenarios in case studies will help you be prepared and able to recall information on the spot when your clients, friends, family (or whoever!) comes to you for help.
Have the answers to every client question at your fingertips — 24/7.
With your coaching textbook, workbook, online platform, and unlimited access to GGS Academy Curriculum Developers, you can quickly find answers to your client’s most pressing questions, from how to help them heal diastasis recti to how to compassionately talk about pelvic floor issues.

No more hunting online. No more wading through incomplete information from resources you can’t trust.

From easy-to-follow topic-specific chapters to accompanying videos and bonus downloads — all based on the latest research — we’ve made it a snap to locate exactly what you need… whenever you need it.

And you’ll have access to it for life.

Plus, you’ll get annual updates as new research emerges, so you’ll stay on the cutting edge and know how to keep your clients safe.
Raise the standard of care for women everywhere while building a business you love.
Finally… get a clear path to keeping your pre- and postnatal clients safe through every stage of their journey and grow a thriving business at the same time.

Plus, you'll get the education you crave while staying within your budget, accommodating your existing schedule, and keeping the flexibility you need to maintain the lifestyle you love.

I recommend the Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification without hesitation; it has given me all the tools required to coach, train, and keep my pre- and postnatal clients and patients healthy and strong.

I will never lose another client because she became pregnant and I didn’t have the knowledge to treat her.”

“I’m a licensed massage therapist, Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Doula, and educator, so I'm incredibly passionate about this topic.

While reading the textbooks, I found myself weeping tears of joy and relief that there’s finally an evidence-based text geared to the unique challenges of women.

I love that this certification is driving a new paradigm in the fitness industry where women aren’t expected to constantly be dieting and shrinking. I couldn’t be prouder to work alongside Girls Gone Strong to be part of this change.”

“... the Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification was the reason I was hired at my first job.”
“I was a brand new trainer when I enrolled in the Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification, but it gave me exactly what I needed to confidently work with women during and after pregnancy.

In fact, it’s the reason I was hired at my first job, and my first two clients had postpartum issues that I was able to help them with because of what I learned in the certification.

Now I’m doing what I love and fulfilling my dream of empowering women for a living, and I have GGS to thank for that!”

“I knew I couldn't be a woman's coach without completing this Pre- & Postnatal Coaching Certification. Without personally experiencing pregnancy — I couldn't connect with and understand my clients the way I needed to — to give them the coaching they deserve.

Because of this certification and how my coaching style has been influenced by Molly and GGS, I've built a community for women where we preach self-love and a sustainable long-term approach to fitness and nutrition.

And I've been successful enough to move to Ireland to live with my girlfriend.”

Campus and Classrooms — often learning from a university requires being on campus or driving to a classroom, using up even more of your time and energy.
Learning is informative in an academic format with less access to a variety of experts in multiple disciplines, less practical experience, and less flexibility to learn in a way that works for you.
Professors who lack real-world experience doing what their students want to do often leave their students feeling confused, frustrated, stuck, and struggling to build their business.
